Plate Number 159. Jumping, running broad jump 1887

"Plate Number 159. Jumping, running broad jump," is a photograph by Eadweard Muybridge, a pioneer of photographic studies of motion. This 1887 image is a sequence of twelve photographs, capturing the motion of a man performing a running broad jump. The detailed depiction of the human body in motion revolutionized the study of movement and had a significant impact on the development of cinema. This work, like many of Muybridge's photographic series, is considered to be a foundational work in the history of photography.
